set inlinepower
set inlinepower
To set inline power parameters, use the set inlinepower command.
set inlinepower defaultallocation value
set inlinepower notify-threshold value module mod
Syntax Description
Defaults The default allocation value is 15400 milliwatts.
The notification threshold is 99 percent.
Command Types Switch command.
Command Modes Privileged.
Usage Guidelines The set inlinepower defaultallocation command is global and only affects Cisco IP phones.
Caution The set inlinepower defaultallocation command can be harmful when there is not enough power in the
system to bring up all connected inline power devices. If you set a small value for the power allocation,
all connected inline power devices initially will be powered up. Howe ver , after recei ving CDP messages,
the system will learn that devices are consuming more power and deny power to some of the ports.
Setting a small value might also result in the overdrawing of power for some time with unanticipated
results, such as hardware failures and unexpected resets.
7000 milliwatts is the maximum power supported for these modules: WS-X6148-RJ21V,
WS-X6148-RJ45V, WS-X6348-RJ21V, and WS-X6348-RJ45V.
The inline power threshold notification generates a syslog message when inline power usage exceeds the
specified threshold.
Examples This example shows how to set the default power allocation to 9500 milliwatts:
Console> (enable) set inlinepower defaultallocation 9500
Default inline power allocation set to 9500 mWatt per applicable port.
Console> (enable)
defaultallocation Sets the default power allocation per port
value Default power allocation; valid values are from 4000 to 15400 milliwatts.
notify-threshold Sets the inline power usage notification threshold.
value Percentage of power usage that sets off the threshold notification; valid values
are from 1 to 99 percent.
module mod Specifies the module.
